Its nice to live in America because we can say whatever we want about this case and then sit back and let the judicial system work completely independant of what we have said.
In some other countries, the man would have been killed by an angry mob on Christmas day. And... near as I can tell, money has nothing to do with that. Of course, in other countries, the man would not of had to deny it, only to say the woman told him the child wasn't his and he did the only thing allowed by the laws of his religion. And... once again, money has nothing to do with that.
This gentleman has been free since the incident occured because the current system in America had to take his word for things. Once enough evidence (all be it circumstantial) was accumulated, only then was there authority to act on those suspicions. Its what makes America great and its what is one of America's greatest weaknessses. We can discuss the "case" all we want, but it means nothing because we, the the distant and removed, are not deciding the man's fate.
By the way... as a side note... Usually, when we extridite a suspected murderer from Mexico, the government of Mexico makes us (those states with the death penalty) agree to not pursue the death penalty. I've seen this in several cases tried in Oregon. Christian Longo was just sentanced to death for the murder of his wife and 3 children after being extridited. I wonder what that says about the world's view of someone that would murder his own family because they became inconvenient.
BTW... the major lure of this case is that it is quite simply intriguing .
